    AbstractThe development of sophisticated modes of ventilation for pediatric patients undergoing anesthesia is ongoing; what remains a challenge for the pediatric anesthesiologist is thoughtful selection of the mode(s) of ventilation for a particular patient in the context of the surgical procedure and the goals of the anesthetic. This article provides some historical accounting of a variety of modes of ventilation, defines the terminology of modern ventilatory modes, and reviews in detail the benefits and pitfalls of the specific modes of ventilation and their applicability to the practice of pediatric anesthesiology. In an attempt to debate the Pros and Cons of different modes of ventilation, and to finally resolve the debate "spontaneous vs. controlled ventilation," we share with you a thoughtful conversation of the continuum of modes of ventilation and their applicability to our pediatric anesthesia population.© 2021 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
